    Hulk and L missions (possible spoilers)

    Last night I finished one of the first Hulk missions where he sends the character to the mountains to get the monkey statue. While there, I skinned the snow leopards and crafted a new bag for a 3/4 number. When the mission was done and Hulk showed his harpoon gun I went to the crafting menu and noticed that it was back at 2/4 and for some reason didn't save. Has anybody else had this issue? I have noticed that certain things show on the map at some points and at others they don't. I'm wondering if this has to do with the save bug?

    Also, I've done a few missions for "L", at least three and when I go to the progress all I see are two done for "L". I've done the mountain one and did a couple of follow missions for him. I'm wondering if it isn't reporting it right, or if they consider some of those camaign missions? Again, I'm wondering if it has to do with the save bug.

    I hope they get this game fully patched soon...

    I've seen him called Hank before, but I think Hulk is even funnier. He's "Hurk" btw.

    If you noticed the disparity after quitting and coming back to the game, it's probably the whacky save game system. I've found the most reliable way of saving progress before quitting game is to start a story mission, and quit game before embarking on it.

    The save system is definitely one of the primary things that still needs patching.

    LOL, I didn't even realize what I called him. I was at work and couldn't remember the L guys name either, haha. Is your plane picture from FSX? I think they play this weekend. I'm a Hawks fan so I hope they get to the bowl again this year. I'll try that strategy, sounds like a good plan...

    I honestly don't recall where I sourced the pic from. Just caught my eye as a good sig banner. I've had it up since the week 1 win over the Packers. Had a feeling then it would be another potential Superbowl run season.

    Go Hawks!

    Yes, many people reported that skins they obtain and crafting they make in a middle of "outside of map" missions disappear afterwards. I don't know whether it is a bug or intentional thing, but it definitely happens to others.

    *If you want a tip how to find snow leopard in the South, here's one.
    Go to any location on the map that is far from any specific predator marker. Throw baits and bow down every predator that comes. Eventually snow leopard will show up.
    Very good place to do this is a roof of the shed next to a house (you collect a mask of Yalung there under the bad with dead civilian) under the cliff just behind Banapur village.

    I have noticed that certain things show on the map at some points and at others they don't
    If you're in a middle of a mission (one you have an option to abandon in the "Ecs" menu), some other missions markers could disappear.
    If you are not, missing markers could be a bug, others reported these things too. In many cases reloading the game helps to restore them.

    I've done the mountain one and did a couple of follow missions for him. I'm wondering if it isn't reporting it right, or if they consider some of those camaign missions?
    Exactly, the first mountain mission is considered a campaign mission, and doesn't count as Longinus mission (same as 1st visit to Shangri-La).

    Get into the habit of saving the game each time you get a rare skin, if you die before an autosave triggers then you lose it
